One month from today we will be cutting the ribbon on the restored Vietnam Veterans Memorial!

Work is ongoing and will be finished in time for Veterans Day.

Help us finish this mission with a donation to our Preserve Our Future campaign and make plans to join us at 11 AM on Veterans Day to see the new Memorial.

Scenes from our 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony on the 25th anniversary of that horrific day.

Our guest speaker — retired New York City firefighter Paul Smith— lost two dozen friends that day and many more from 9/11 related illnesses since.

Courage over fear
Service over self
Unity over division

Please join us next year.
